Being from Texas, I appreciated this.

City Councilman ejected from studio

T. Bubba Bechtol, part time City Councilman from Midland,
TX, was asked on a local live radio talk show the other day just what he
thought of the allegations of torture of the Iraqi prisoners. His reply
prompted his ejection from the studio, but to thunderous applause
from the audience.

"If hooking up an Iraqi prisoner's scrotum to a car's
battery cables will save one American GI's life, then I have just two
things to say":

"Red is positive"

"Black is negative"

You have to love those Texans

As a native Texan, I say Yippee-kay-ya Bubba! What do you think MI5 or is it MI6 doing to those captured Islalmo-facists terror bombers? Serving them crumpets and tea or inviting their friends and experts in getting terrorists to divulge information, Isreal's Mossad, for a house extracting information party?

According to Snopes, the truthfulness of this is undetermined. There is indeed a personality known as T Bubba Bechtol, but it isn't a real person. It's a comedian, who claims he did indeed make this statement. Read more about it here;

Bechtol Statement

Regardless, I have to agree with the sentiment.

As much as I agree with the methods, this item is just so much internet wishful thinking.

Too bad it wasn't true.
